The mission of TASK is to enrich the lives of children and adults with special needs by providing athletic, artistic, life-skill building and social opportunities.
Our Purpose
We believe every individual should have positive self-esteem. We strive in all our programs to build participants’ self-esteem by building their self-confidence through helping them to achieve success. We do this by adapting our programs to meet the individual where they are. By taking every program to the individual we can better help them to build skills and confidence in the way that is best for them. We’re proud to say that we’ve never turned away a child because of a disability – we’ve always been able to adapt the program to meet the participant’s needs.
We also are committed to helping maintain our participants’ health by giving them a space to keep active and stay physically fit. The CDC has reported that obesity rates for children with disabilities are 38% higher than for children without disabilities (see findings here.) Providing opportunities to stay active and participate in athletic programs is one way to work against this statistic.
